Brake pads OEM Mazda or Hawk Performance

Front Golf R OEM Brakes include: TyrolSport Stainless Steel brake lines TyrolSport Caliper Stiffener kit (re-lubed every year - had them on for 4 years, re-lubed 3 Times, so good condition) Hawk HPS pads The above parts were installed at about the 24k mile point, so have about 24k miles on them.

Love the pads, don't like the squealing at times, but for a high torque pad it's really good. They have the same feeling at Hawk DTC's which I use on track, but have that strong bite at a MUCH lower temp. than the DTC's do.

I just replaced my OEM pads with Hawk HPS5.0 pads and slotted StopTech rotors. Slightly more dust than the OEM ceramic pads but they do a good job.

i'm using hawk pads (on my second set) currently, but might try the reds on my next swap out.

I put these on my Corrado along with the big rotors from ECS and Hawk HPS pads. They really stop good!

They also come with Hawk pads that should be fine for street use.

Blank rotors from tasca and hawk hps 5.0 pads. Feels and preforms great.

Hawk HPS... Had them on my Mk5 GTI with ATE Power Slot rotors. I used hell out of that setup at the N\u00fcrburgring and on the Autobahn.

Hawk HPS are decent, as long as you never see winter conditions I hate mine in the winter, as it does take a bit to heat them up (as I approach my intersections going down steep hills). The initial bite, when it is warmed up, isn't as grabby compared to stock also.

From my personal experience with the hawk hps pads, stay away from them. Absolutely garbage past normal operating temperatures. They were however quiet and low dust.
